Killing ratio of a MRSA treated by ACEL mPDT device with different RB concentrations (50 μM, 100 μM, and 150 μM) and b Gram-positive bacteria (MRSA, USA-300, BAA-4, and VRE), Gram-negative bacteria (TRE), and fungi (C. albicans) treated with PBS, RB gel, ACEL, and ACEL mPDT. (n = 3) Error bars: standard deviation. c Photographs of the colonies of MRSA, USA-300, BAA-40, VRE, TRE, and C. albicans treated with different groups. The bacterial suspensions are spread on the LB agar plates and then incubated at 37 °C for 12 h. And the bacterial colonies are recorded using a camera. d Cell viabilities of NIH3T3 cells treated with TCP, gel, RB gel, and ACEL. (n = 3) Error bars: standard deviation. e IR thermal images of mice treated with ACEL mPDT device.
